Chapter 11 Reunion

Thinking about the past, the willow branches made of mud moved the true nature, and the wooden sticks were allowed to be vertical and horizontal, but the sun and the moon are rushing, and the youthful love is broken!

The three children have grown up to be elegant young masters and young ladies. Xiao Qianshan's generation has become a little older, and his behavior style is obviously much more indecisive. Only Jing Lei and the other four are still the same, even their clothes have not changed.

Xiao Yu became more silent, and sometimes he couldn't say a few words in a day, and he didn't even ask about the affairs of the world. He even moved his residence halfway up the mountain, so that he could see even fewer people.His house is surrounded by unpruned evergreens, which are more than two feet high, more than enough for a courtyard wall, and there is a large space among the evergreen bushes, which are full of larks, thrushes and the like.Cut off two bunches of evergreens at the door of the house. Even if there is a door, the door is full of flowers such as sunflowers, blood butterflies, wood gold, roses, etc. that will grow well no matter what. Lost in height and low in confusion, it is patchwork and has a sense of "inadvertently planting willows and willows to make shade"; in the middle of the yard, there are seven Tao Gong willows forming a circle, and the hanging wicker just extends into the large porcelain fish tank in the middle. Swim up from time to time to bite two willow leaves!If one only looks at the courtyard, outsiders will definitely think that Xiao Yu has a lifestyle, but when one enters the house, one finds that he is no different from Fang Wai who is practicing penance. There is only one bed in a big house with three rooms. , a bookshelf full of books, a table with tea sets and three bamboo chairs, and nothing else.

Compared to Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhang is so high-profile, he hangs out with the big girls in the town all day long, and if he has no money, he just wanders around the properties of the Black Clothes League, even if the account details are fine, so what?He thinks that even if the water is clear, there may not be no fish, it depends on how to catch it!As long as you go down, those in charge of management will hand over your "hearts" and accept them yourself. This is called "favor". "Unnecessary", this is a win-win situation!Not only that, but those old men knew about their transfer of industry, and they praised them a lot. They put words like "responsibility and diligence" on them. Now, they are "young talents" The brow to search has become more confident!

The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds!Not long ago, the girl’s family that Xiao Zhang photographed turned out to be a tomb robber from his ancestors. Instigated by curiosity, he also dug a few of them himself, but he also dug up a lot of treasures.Unlike other tomb robbers, he thinks it is most suitable to go down at night, because creatures like ghosts and gods are afraid of pure yang energy, and dare not come out during the day, so they only nest in the tomb; at night, when the yin energy is high, they don't come out for a walk Son?So they should not stay at "home" at night.Of course, dealing with those dirty things is just a matter of wiggling your fingers. I’m afraid that those who are “eighteen taboos” for cultivation will vomit blood when they know that someone uses their dreamed-up cultivation to do the “eighteen taboos”!

On this day, Xiao Zhang is going to "After Dusk for a Rendezvous" again, thinking of making some beauty cream as a gift, it will get twice the result with half the effort!So I went to Xiao Yu's yard to get some honey as an auxiliary material, but I didn't expect Xiao Keren to be there, so I immediately called over to help.

"Ah!" Xiao Yu said meaningfully: "It's really an era where men and women are divided and difficult to distinguish between men and women!"

Xiao Zhang frowned, and said: "Say what I can understand, what kind of wolf with a big tail!"

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "You two look at each other!"

The two looked at each other puzzled.Xiao Zhang is wearing a red shirt, with his hair tied up and tied into a ponytail, and his face is fair and clean, which makes him look like a young woman; Not to mention, she didn't even paint her eyebrows and lips, and she was wearing a solid black shirt and thin-soled boots, which made her look a bit heroic!

Xiao Zhang was the first to choke back Xiao Keren's words: "You are not much better, let's not talk about each other!"

"Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it!" Xiao Keren rolled his eyes and said again: "I have to say one more thing, you mess around with this and that all day long, and some people ignore you , you are still posting it up shamelessly, can you show some face? Your sister and I are ashamed of you! Have you never heard that a twisted melon is not sweet?"

"I've heard it!" Seeing that Xiao Keren wanted to speak again, Xiao Zhang added, "But quench your thirst! Although it's a bit bitter!"

"Quiet your thirst..." Xiao Keren was completely helpless, turned to Xiao Yu, and said, "You don't care if you are the boss?"

Xiao Yu squeezed the honey into the bowl and said, "Uncle doesn't care, what do I care?"

Xiao Ke said humanely: "Yes, my father doesn't care, but my mother can! You don't know, my mother picked it out for him, and said she married into the family years ago?" She deliberately glanced at Xiao Zhang, that's called A proud one.

"Could it be the one that broke the scale hook?" Xiao Zhang was a little scared.

Xiao Keren frowned, and said: "How do you talk? Mother said, that girl has many children and grandchildren. Our family has always been underpopulated, and we depend on her to have more children!"

"The population is not prosperous because I am not prosperous? Why don't she and father have seven or eight children?" Xiao Zhang roared.

"That's right, you can tell mother like this when we are having dinner later, and it will save me the trouble of being a sister all day long!" Xiao Keren walked away with a smirk.

Eating is the most embarrassing time for this family. Xiao Yu didn't say anything, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to say anything, only Xiao Keren chirped: "Is this corn egg drop soup too weak? Oh, ma'am!"

"But people like to eat sweet things, the longer they grow, the sweeter they are!" Shan Chuxiao boasted.

Xiao Zhang snorted coldly: "It's too sweet and boring, it's fine now!"

"One person has one taste, what do you think? Dad!" Xiao Ke proudly carried the rescuers.

Xiao Qianshan didn't stop chopsticks: "Well, you can put whatever you like."

"How about... let's put some honey?" Xiao Keren provocatively brought over the honey that Xiao Zhang had procured for a long time, one spoonful on the left and one spoonful on the right. The son is unwilling to give up.

Xiao Qianshan had finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said: "Yesterday, I received a letter from the Yiyun County branch, saying that there was a flood there, and the people lacked clothing and food. The key is that there are signs of the spread of the epidemic. It will take some time for the herbal medicine to arrive. You, Uncle Shen, and I have already ordered to buy more than 3000 catties nearby, and you will bring someone to deliver it there tomorrow!"

"Do you still need me to deliver just a few carts of herbs?" Xiao Zhang complained.

Xiao Qianshan said: "Then what can you send?"

Xiao Zhang was suddenly choked speechless, not daring to speak.What herbs haven't arrived yet, he knows these officials too well, and deliberately delays the time so that those who don't have the heart to take out their personal wealth.When the disaster is almost over, I would like to express my gratitude to the victims for the greatness of the emperor; and then spend three or five taels of silver to find a piece of broken wood to make a plaque, and let the funeral team wear the clothes of carrying the sedan chair and give the money Send more, so that the person who pays will be recognized by Dao Guangzu Yaozu's officials, and naturally he will not say anything, and the remaining money will naturally be regarded as saved and put into his own pocket!

"Xiao Yu, you're going too tomorrow!" Xiao Qianshan said: "You have an easy-going personality and don't like dealing with random people. That won't work. You still have to do some things!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I know!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm going too!" Xiao Keren booed.

"What are you going to do, what is a girl running around all day, just stay at home!" Shan Yanxia taught her a lesson.

Xiao Qianshan said: "It's fine to go out for a walk, and wear men's clothing when you go! It's fine now! Also, don't give your family's name lightly when you go out. Although the world is not as swords and swords as it is said in the storybook, it is after all an intrigue. It’s better to have an alias for the place, so it’s more convenient to deal with things!”

Xiao Keren clasped his fists and said, "Hero Xiao, from now on, the little girl will follow you, and I don't want my old lady either!"

"You son of a bitch, it's against you..." Seeing her daughter walking away unsteadily, her teeth chattered with anger, and said, "Look at your precious daughter, what kind of words are you talking about? Regardless..."

Before dawn on the second day, the three of them brought Jinglei, the four of them and a dozen brothers from the League with seven carts of herbs and set out on the road. Xiao Zhang's mouth was rambunctious, and Xiao Yu, who was tired of listening, kicked his horse and left first. , Xiao Keren also rode his horse to catch up, Xiao Zhang shouted: "Hey, you are all gone, what about the medicine?"

"With Xiao Zhang as the leader, what's wrong with it?" Xiao Yu shouted.

After entering the county seat of Yiyun County, I realized that the disaster situation was far worse than the news I received. This county is dominated by plains, and people living there are very dense. With a full stomach and sleeping on the streets, colds and colds have spread and are likely to turn into epidemics.Although there are some enlightened gentry or Jianghu gangs who give porridge and medicine, it is obvious that the drop in the bucket is not enough.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Keren went to the sub-helm to place an order, didn't even have a sip of tea, and followed the crowd to find some usable things to build a shed so that the victims of the disaster would have a place to leeward, and at the same time waited for Xiao Zhang to come and discuss See if you can use spells to move some food and medicine from other places for emergency!It's ridiculous that everyone in the world believes that immortals can create something out of nothing, but they don't know that the universe is constant, and people who practice Taoism can only use the technique of moving little ghosts!

How could Xiao Keren, who was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, bear this crime, he sat down on the rock after lifting a few logs and couldn't get up. Looking at the scorching sun, he thought to himself when he was a boss! "My lord, if you don't go back again, I will never think about the master letting you out again!" Xiao Keren raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a handsome young man with a handsome face, well-dressed, and holding a folding fan, walking in front, followed by a decent-looking servant. Very dissatisfied and urged, as if arguing about something.Xiao Keren swears to God in her heart, she is curious about what the two of them said, she is not a nymphomaniac, so she takes a few more glances at their looks!

The young master turned back and said: "You are so funny, when did the old man let me out in the past ten years? I don't even know why he didn't let me out! Let me tell you, this time I will never come back if I don't play the ten years. go!"

The servant said anxiously: "Then... what should I do if the master blames me?"

"It's easy to say!" The young master waved his folding fan and said confidently, "I know my father's temper best. When he gets home, he will only ask me if I'm hungry and if I slept well. He doesn't want to punish me! "

"It's because I hate to punish you, why not punish me?" the servant shouted.

The young master laughed and said, "Is the fox's tail sticking out? Is it still your little Jiujiu? How about I break your leg and say that you did it to protect me, and then I won't punish you. , I will definitely reward you! How about it?"

"It's not good!" The servant pulled the young master's hand and said, "It's okay to scold me a few times, don't let me get a leg!"

The young master was quite helpless, and begged: "Then there is no other way! Just act like an old guy, forgive me!"

"It's true that loving fathers often lose daughters!" the servant muttered in a low voice.

The young master's eyes widened: "Forget the first half of the sentence, let me hear the second half of the sentence and you will die!" His eyes happened to be intertwined with Xiao Keren, so he walked up on his own, staring at Xiao Keren up and down After looking around for a long time, I suddenly became happy.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Keren was discouraged after finishing the first half of the sentence, and muttered in a low voice, "It's okay to look at it, and you're still laughing!"

The young master opened the fan with a puff, shook it gracefully, and said: "Phoenix swims on the Phoenix platform, it's a pity that the phoenix clothes don't cover their heads!"

Xiao Keren knew that his daughter had been noticed by the other party, so he raised his head arrogantly, saw the two ears and eyes of "Young Master", his heart suddenly brightened, touched his earlobe, and said: "Whether you care about the three points in the family Land, thousands of households in the imperial court of Ao Sha!"

The young master was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's a kindred spirit, it's fate to meet each other, why don't you find a place to have a few drinks?"

"Is there a place to drink here?" Xiao Keren looked at the mess in the city.

"Just follow me!"

He had already guessed that Xiao Keren would run away, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. He was still here when he carried the wood last time, but he disappeared this time!Xiao Yu smiled wryly and shook his head and sat down to catch his breath, but he vaguely heard someone shouting chant, thinking who would be in the mood to do this at this time, and turned the corner to see: Facing the setting sun, a team of men carrying big sacks came, the leader That was Xiao Zhang, his voice was a little hoarse from shouting, his whole body was covered in yellow mud, his hair stood on end like a hedgehog.Quickly stepped forward to take the sack: "How did you do this?"

"Ask me?" Xiao Zhang was extremely angry, and said: "As soon as I entered Yiyun County, the yellow mud soup reached my knees, and the wheels sank and I couldn't get up. What should I do if I don't carry it? Yes, there are people who don't carry it! He pointed to Baifang and Guye, who were driving the horse with willow branches and had no mud on their bodies. "See, the two of them told me that this is a man's job, and women can't do it! Damn, we men should do this, right? I said, I don't care what you do, give me the medicine As long as you can get it, they really have tricks. How about making a show and looking backward? But when I asked backwards, my fucking ears were stuffed with donkey hair, and no one paid me any attention! I saw those few who were tired like dead dogs. ?” Pointing to a few people lying on the ground panting, “I say they deserve it for being exhausted!”

The person lying on the ground was unhappy: "Master, what you said is wrong, we call it helping others!" "Are you embarrassed to let a woman carry more than 100 catties?"......

"Don't make excuses for your lust!" Xiao Zhang confronted. "If they take off their clothes, it's hard to say whether they recognize your own father!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhang's words became more and more outrageous, Xiao Yu interrupted: "It's alright, it's alright! Go wash up, let's go eat something!"

"What kind of food do you want to eat? Let me go and borrow some medicine and some food. The victims are still running here. This is not enough!" Xiao Zhang slapped the mud on his body.

Xiao Yu was surprised: "You also know someone here?"

Xiao Zhang poked his neck, and said: "My Xiao Zhang has friends all over the world, this is nothing!" Regardless of the smell of sweat on his body, he greeted a dozen strong men and marched towards the higher ground in the city. Come on, although there is no official inscription in this place stipulating who can live here, the structure of the house has already determined the identity of the people who live here. From the foundation to the ground, three feet high are all huge stones, and the stones are covered with green bricks. The joints are white and gray, and the roof is covered with red tiles and red rafters. The flood in other places in the city has not yet receded, and the ground here is actually a little white from the sun!

Xiao Zhang stopped in front of a pharmacy, which could be regarded as the leading leader here regardless of the plaque or the front door, but there were not many people grabbing medicines, the doctor sitting in the hall was dozing off, and the waiter was listlessly leaning against the medicine cabinet.Without saying a word, they rushed in directly, sat on the table and poured tea and water, and some even lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy who was sleeping in the inner hall ran out, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, everyone, what advice do you have?"

"See what to teach? Of course I came to the pharmacy to grab the medicine. In this way, the yellow lotus and the plantain are all wrapped up for me. I want them all!" Xiao Zhang took a sip of tea, spit it out again, and said, "Change the pot first. Good tea, how about drinking donkeys?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Brother, forgive me, we are a small business, should we settle the bill first?"

"Are you confused? If I have money, why don't I buy yellow lotus? Wouldn't it be better to just buy ginseng and ganoderma? First record the account, and send it over when you have enough money!" Xiao Zhang asked back.

Hehe, the shopkeeper sneered twice, and said: "I want to be black and white here, have you chosen the wrong place? Come on!" Twenty or thirty big men rushed out with wooden sticks and surrounded Xiao Zhang and others. In the middle, there is a look of gloating.

"Yo, have you prepared?" Xiao Zhang sarcastically.

The shopkeeper was upset and thought, this kid probably thought he was scaring them.Said: "Recently, Yiyun County is not peaceful. Self-proclaimed chivalrous bastards often make trouble in the shop. The shop has to make some preparations. In the morning, a person's leg was broken. I don't know if he is dead or not right now." Live! Seeing that you are all young, why are you so overwhelmed?"

Xiao Zhang laughed and stood up, saying: "That's right, there is something to discuss, you said that although you are a drug store, if you beat a few of you to death, your medicine will not cure you, right? "

At first I thought this group of people were asking for mercy, but I didn't expect that they were playing tricks on themselves.The shopkeeper Wuming Yehuo rose and shouted: "Hit me, if you kill me, I will pay!"

In less than a cup of tea, the big man in the pharmacy was already howling and rolling on the ground!Xiao Zhang turned around in the middle, and said to the shopkeeper: "As you wish, you pay for it! I am very reasonable, originally it was on credit, but now your herbal medicine is worth my brothers' medical expenses! Hey, you Don't fool me, I know a lot of things from this small place, this herbal medicine is not worth a few big bucks, look at my brothers, I have been busy for a long time without even eating lunch, maybe I will be punished by you The subordinate suffered an internal injury, but it’s just that he didn’t see it now! Don’t look like you’ve been wronged by the sky. Seeing that your man is bloody, it’s actually okay, just take some medicine for the broken arm and leg. It’s easy to settle; internal injuries are different. It’s okay now, but once something happens in the future, it will be a big deal! You say that Yiyun County has suffered a disaster, and I can’t bear it, brother. You can take 2000 taels of silver, and you don’t have to thank me. It’s also the heart of a Bodhisattva, isn’t it?”

The shopkeeper knew that he had encountered a problem, so he cried and said: "My little brother, I don't have so much cash, old man, why don't you tell me the address, and I'll send it to you later?"

"Change the pot of tea, why can't the tea come out after the racks are over!" Xiao Zhang slammed the teapot on the ground with a bang.

The shopkeeper hurried into the back hall to make a pot of new tea and bring it up.

Xiao Zhang took a sip of the tea, savored it carefully for a long time, and said: "Smell, not bad, good tea, for the sake of this pot of yours, I will tell you one more thing, and wait for the person you sent to call someone to come back." , I will tell you my origin, and I will not let you find a way to get revenge, or I will have to say it again when your helper comes in a while, trouble!"

The shopkeeper was completely dumbfounded. He wanted to delay the time, but he didn't expect that the other party knew everything, and he knew that he was not an officer. It's hard to scare people if it's placed there; moreover, during the current catastrophe, everything is muddled, and there is no oily water at all. The best way is to find a place to take a short vacation so that the victims can't find it. It is said that the disaster victims are dealt with in other places, and the anti-justice cloud county is so big, who knows if it is true or not!I was thinking of a way to deal with this young man, but I heard a tiger roar outside the door: "Which bastard with short eyes dares to find fault with your Ninth Master's territory?"

Xiao Zhang turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a bare-armed man rushing in with two butcher's knives, followed by seven or eight vicious hooligans.He didn't say a word, he picked up the teapot and threw it on Master Jiu's head, and the people under him picked up the tables, chairs and benches and swung them around.He squatted on the ground and said, "Jiuye, right? I heard that you collected a lot of protection fees, and you are not idle even when you are in a disaster. As long as there are people who are robbed by disaster victims and come to you, you can guarantee that no one will dare to rob you, right? The law and order in Yiyun County is thanks to you. It is really rare to be able to have a scene of peace and prosperity even in disasters! As for me, I have no other requirements, 5000 taels of silver is enough!" Turning to the two people behind me, I said, "You two Go get it with Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye must have a lot of treasury, you don’t need to look for it, you can’t find it, as long as you don’t have enough money, send Jiu Ye to a mass grave outside the city, such a big water, it’s not very easy to drown a few people It's normal, you say yes, shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, these gangsters are really devils, they don't even take human life seriously!

"Hey, why don't you two go with Master Jiu and wait for the carriage?" Seeing the two of them dragging Master Jiu, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "The heads of these people are all made of wood, and they have to be taught everything. You are different, you look like a capable person!"

The shopkeeper laughed dryly, asked someone to move a wooden box, and said, "Brother, I've won the prize, I've won the prize! I'll ask someone to pack the medicine for you right away. This is 2000 taels of silver. Would you like some?"

Xiao Zhang's face tensed, and he said: "What are you doing? What's the relationship between us? Brother! If I order the money you gave me, isn't that scolding me? Don't care about more or less, that's all! You See, I'm still busy, I don't have time to clean up the house for you..."

"No...you can go to work if you have something to do, I can clean it up myself!" The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhang just stepped out and turned back, saying: "It seems that it is not righteous for me to take away your things like this, uh, let's do this, anyway, these medicines are going to be distributed to the victims outside, so let them give it to you Let’s set up a stele of merit and virtue, at the royal level, nine feet high, three feet wide, and carried by a tortoise... This seems to hinder the regulation, to destroy the nine clans, but I have a trick, knock the bastard on the head It’s okay if you can’t drop it? That’s it!”

Knock off the bastard's head?That's no longer a shrinking turtle!The shopkeeper wanted to reason, but swallowed his words back. It's better not to mess with this ancestor, otherwise I don't know how much damage will be done.

Everyone who was still full of complaints was now attracted by Yinzi, and Xiao Zhang angrily taught: "Can we improve our prospects? Looking at Yinzi and Niu'er, we can't walk. We are also members of the Black Clothes League anyway." Elite, okay?"

"Yes, oh, yes" was the answer, but the eyes never left the cash box, and some people even drooled shamelessly!

Xiao Zhang was helpless, slapped on the forehead, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, forget it, divide it, divide it!"

A timid one worriedly asked: "Young master, I'm afraid this violates the rules of the alliance?"

"The alliance rules?" Xiao Zhang asked with staring eyes: "Who broke the alliance rules? Has anyone broken them? No, the brothers who came here today are either hard-nosed ones who follow the rules; they are cowards who are afraid of getting into trouble! Who dares to break the rules? We I went to borrow medicine, and just happened to meet the owner of the pharmacy celebrating his birthday, so we gave each of them a red envelope, shouldn't we be sorry for his kindness?"

"Then what about the bully's 5000 taels?" asked a brother who was far away from Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang pointed at the man dissatisfied and said: "How do you talk? You are a good man when you open your mouth, right? That is Jiuye, a typical hero in Yiyun County. He likes to make friends and treats money like dung! Today The 38th aunt of his old man was so happy to have twins, so they gave each a big red envelope, there is no way, rich people, self-willed!" Suddenly remembered something, and asked the person next to him: "You said that Yiyun County has suffered a lot. Such a big disaster, how come so many people have happy events?"

The person next to him thought about it and said, "Coincidentally!"

Xiao Zhang praised happily: "That's great, what a coincidence! Let's go and see if the owner of Liangzhuang is getting a wife today!"

"If the funeral is held today, do we still have to follow suit if we don't need money?" the person next to him muttered.

Xiao Zhang gave the man a very unhappy look, and said, "Crow's mouth!"
